Jesse is a genetic powerhouse with multigenerational champions on both sides, including HFS Jeremiah, Big Timber Kahuna's Josef, Rockstar, Kahuna, Torbio, Baron Lafite and Armani.
Sired by our 2X Judges Choice and 7X Champion HFS Jeremiah and out of our Sweet Mimosa, a Big Timber Kahuna's Josef daughter; Jesse is a limited-edition Jeremiah/Josef genetic cross. His grandsire Kahuna's Josef is a 12X Champion. His full sister, Sweet Teah is a 4X Champion.
Championships are important, but more important is the science data proven in his genetic lines. His dam line passes on extreme lingering fineness and uniformity. Granddam Sweet 16 at the age of 13 years, is in the Top 1% EPDs in her fleece traits. His sire, Jeremiah has top 5% EPDs, and grandsire Josef has almost Top 1% EPDs in uniformity and Top 5% in other fleece traits. His full sister, Sweet Teah has top 3% EPD traits.
Jesse won Reserve Champion and first place as a shorn yearling in a competitive halter show and first place in two shows as a juvenile. He also won first place as a shorn yearling in the 2023 AOA National Halter Show!
In addition to winning in halter shows, Jesse scored over 80 in many competitive fleece shows winning multiple AOA Advanced Fleece Awards. His fleece score cards consistently show excellent scores for luster, fineness, and uniformity. To top it off, Jesse won Best Luster at the 2022 AOA National Fleece Show. Jesse's fleece score cards show almost perfect scores in uniformity, fineness and luster!
Jesse is in the top 3% EPDS for 2023, which is no surprise considering his champion genetics.
Dr. Norm Evans performed a biopsy on Jesse in July 2024. His density is 45.5 with fiber clusters very uniform in shape and placement. His secondary/primary spread is only 6.3 microns. His secondary fiber micron is 22.8 and his primaries micron is 29.1 micron resulting in an average micron of 23.3. His secondary/primary ratio is 12.4 to 1. Although he is average in follicle density, he has incredible uniformity, staple length and fineness. These factors combine to give him a heavy shear weight, which translates to more finished product dollars.
A perfect herdsire for a breeder who needs to improve their herd uniformity, staple length and fineness.
Overall, Jesse has gorgeous fleece: very fine, long and uniform with a wave and twist lock structure. This wonderful fleece is on a large, handsome, masculine frame.
